Sore Throat Remedies

Soothe that raw throat gently and naturally

Your sore throat may be caused by a virus, bacteria, or allergy. A severe or persistent sore throat accompanied by high fever or swollen glands requires a doctor's attention. If your sore throat is a mild symptom of allergy or the common cold, you can usually treat it yourself. Before you reach for commercially prepared cough drops and sore throat lozenges, learn about traditional, natural remedies.

You can easily prepare teas, infusions, cough drops, and syrups from medicinal herbs. Herbs and other ingredients are as nearby as your local health food store, drug store, or supermarket.
